My name was chosen because my mom loved the song "Rosanna" by Chris de Burgh. She chose to spell it with an "e" as she figured that was the most natural spelling. Most people tend to spell it Rosanna though. My mother always liked the name Christopher and Nicholas was after her favorite uncle.

With my sister Jessica, my mom wanted to name her Natasha but her family hated it. So, she ask me what name I liked, and apparently, I told her Jessica. My youngest sister, Natasha, was a surprise and my mom decided she loved the name Natasha too much to not use it.

I am JennetteLeah (Nette) named after my Grandmother's middle names (though spelled a little differently in both cases.) My sister AshleyNicole (Ash or Boo Boo) was named after the male character in Gone With the Wind and her middle was just a name my mother liked. My sister WhitneyKay (Minnie) was named after WhitneyHouston and my aunt's middle name. My youngest sister is TiaunaAnitaMaria. Her name was one my mother found in a baby naming book and Anita and Maria were names from her father's side of the family. (She is a significantly younger half-sister.) Ashley, Whitney and I were born in the 80's, Tiauna was born in 2003.
